I am a human resource(fulness) researcher, and these are the tools I use to grow resources and cultivate relationships among my neighbors. What do they do? The first three ‘tools’ listed are not visible in the picture, but speak for themselves, I hope.

4. Map of Seattle: a research project to see oh the places we go. Many neighbors Walk/Bike/Ride. Colored, numbered pins indicate how who is getting, well, where.

7. Community Pantry, inspired by the enrichment I experienced in a small bulk buying group I really enjoyed, and the joys of sharing a CSA with neighbors recently.

If service, need, and the creative impulse are the kinetic energies moving the Neighbors On Purpose project, these boards are akin to the delicate spaces between our synapses, holding rich juices, making coordinated movement possible.
8. These 3 giant cork boards are nicknamed ‘Common Pleasure’, ‘Hidden Treasure’, and ‘A Wish for Good Measure’.

9. Gatherings and events sprouting from the community boards are easily pinned on the cork calendars!
